kaku's Issues

Add remove item from playlist option

Need a website for Kaku

As title, after fixing some platform problems in Kaku, I think we are ready to host a website for it. I'll try to find a recognizable domain for it.

Just opened a repo for this, check https://github.com/EragonJ/Kaku-website for more information and this bug will be marked as fixed after the prototype of the website is done.

add loader icon for searchbar

As title, it would make users feel better when waiting for search results.

Implement AutoUpdater

If I have no time to make this happen before July, at least we should show a native dialog to redirect users to download latest build if there is any updated version coming up.

Add unit test for backend/PlaylistManager.js

As title.

requirejs in mocha doesn't support ES6 feature

As title, it seems that there are some ES6 feature that requirejs doesn't support like default options. Need to find out a way to solve this, otherwise, we can't use them in src/

Need an icon for Kaku

as title.

Add online/offline detection

Because this app needs to rely on stable network connection, it would be nice to add online/offline detection to show / hide some hint messages or ask users to do refresh.

Youtube-dl doesn't work on windows

As title, we faced this problem on Windows and the syndrome is quite the same with this one ytdl-org/youtube-dl#4896

It seems that for newer Electron, default devtools are removed, need to add it back

as title.

Add few global shortcuts for player

https://github.com/atom/electron/blob/master/docs/api/accelerator.md

In electorn, there are some accelerators that we can use to make this player more easy to use. At the first stage, we should support VolumeUp, VolumeDown, VolumeMute, MediaNextTrack, MediaPreviousTrack, MediaStop and MediaPlayPause.

we should not let users select anything

As title, we should not let users select anything when click & drag.

Can't play tracks from playlist after restarting kaku.

Fix play all logics

Right now, play all logics are troublesome and needs to be fixed. We should make it more robust in different scenarios. (Maybe we can refer some existing players)

AutoUpdater will break if there is no release

As title.

update locales for all panels

As title, let's use l10nSpan & setLocale for dialog. By doing so, we can make sure Kaku is fully translated.

Isn't the player to small?

I think the player is to small...

Make it resizable

Right now Kaku is locked and can't be resized, we need to break this restriction and make it look nice even when maximized.

A JavaScript error occured in the browser process

This happened when pressing multimedia key.

Make playlist's name text-overflow: ellipsis;

As title, for playlists, because users may name them too long, so we have to add ellipsis for it.

Ignore some unused files under src/frontend/vendor

As title, the better way is to find a better source that the endpoint only includes needed files instead of unrelated files. It's also a good time to think whether we should move to npm to control all 3rd party libraries because if they are on bower, they are also on npm ! By doing so, we can use package.json as a centralized place to control all these dependencies.

Add autocomplete when searching keywords

As title, we can use $.autocomplete to fetch data from remote server. We can refer the same code I made from Atraci.

There are some empty content showing up

Just noticed a weird bug that if we are right now in a specific tab, when clicking on home and jumping back, the content would be empty.

Step to reproduce :

1. click on settings tab
2. click on home tab
3. click on settings tab -> KO

This is quite critical and not sure how it happened.

Add unit test for backend/HistoryManager.js

As title.

Something is wrong with videojs controls

Something is wrong with videojs controls:

Fix the waiting time between clicking on track and showing up the spinner in player

as title, there must be something that we can fix here, at least we can show spinner earlier when clicking on the track.

License missing from repo

Without a license, this project isn't open source and no one can use the code.

Please use something like http://choosealicense.com/ to decide what license to use. I recommend MIT or GPL.

A novel effort by Add a License Please

Esc key will be captured in Kaku and can't be used in other applications on mac

As title, right now because we register a global key for esc in player, so this would make the other applications unable to use esc. Need to fix this .

Port to Windows OS and others

This is very important that needs to be fixed before July, 2015.

Some "YoutubeTrack"'s in playlist are not playing after kaku restart

Make it frameless

As title, to make it look nice.

Remove element from playlist always removes first element in playlist,

Drop compass support and use less instead

As title, with compass, we need to depend on ruby when developing and after trying to build Kaku in windows, this is really a nightmare to establish this environment. And for now, because we haven't used too many features from Compass, I think we are good to drop it and use less instead to make our development env more friendly.

For mixins part, we can refer https://github.com/madebysource/lesshat .

if tracks are in a playlist, we should make it sortable

If there are too many tracks in a playlist, it would be helpful to let users sort tracks by drag and drop.

Add Edit menu back to make sure we can use some handy shortcuts

as title, some handy shortcuts are hidden and we should bring them back.

Drop backend/CoreData.js

After some experiments, I realize this is a bad design and this has been deprecated in my latest scripts. So, it's time to drop this script.

Playlists are hidden in sidebar if too long, need to add a scrollbar for it

As title.

Ignore unused files when running `gulp build`

As title, right now the size of Kaku's zip file is 94.5 mb and I think there should be some files that can be ignored when running gulp build.

Some tracks are not loading after restarting kaku

After I restarted kaku some of the tracks that I added to my playlist are not loading:

Add unit test for backend/models/track/BaseTrack.js

As title.

.clearfix is undefined

/Users/EragonJ/workspace/Kaku/app/node_modules/gulp-less/node_modules/accord/node_modules/when/lib/decorators/unhandledRejection.js:80
        throw e;
              ^
Error: .clearfix is undefined in file /Users/EragonJ/workspace/Kaku/app/src/frontend/less/components/global.less line no. 58

Add unit test for backend/models/playlist/BasePlaylist.js

As title.

Randomly get this error message when playing track.

Forgot which track I was listening, but based on the log, it seems that we just need to add more check to avoid this error.

Add a button to let users able to clean up play history

As title, we need to add one button to clean up the history.

Add loading page at startup.

it would be nice to add one loading page at startup because the white screen really looks weird.

Add GA for tracking

As title, we need a tracker to track users' behaviors and this can be a pref.

Add searching for Lyrics feature

As title, it would be nice to have a general API to fetch lyrics.

Kaku not working (hotkey problems)

Kaku is not working.
